This function should really have more formal arguments -- especially
the format argument.
As it is, the `format` will be set to . You should be able to pass
`format` through the dots, but there's a syntax bug preventing that
from working (`list(...)[[format]] - NULL`).
As it is, the only way to load your data using getSymbols.csv is to
set the `format` argument in the Symbol Lookup table. (I saved the
text from your e-mail in a file at ~/tmp/worik.txt)
setSymbolLookup(worik=list(src='csv', format='%Y-%m-%d'))
getSymbols('worik', dir='~/tmp', auto.assign=FALSE, extension='txt')

When I use getSymbols(.., src=csv)
The dates are incorrect. The first date is 2012-09-18
It seems that in getSymbols.csv uses:
as.Date(fr[, 1], format = format, ..., origin = 1970-01-01)
Looking more closely...
as.Date(2011-12-28, origin=1970-01-01, format=)
[1] 2012-09-18
That is what I see.
But either of...
as.Date(2011-12-28, origin=1970-01-01)
[1] 2011-12-28
as.Date(2011-12-28)
[1] 2011-12-28
give me what I expect.
What am I doing wrong?
cheers
